NOT HAVE BEEN AS GOOD IF IT WASN'T FOR ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. CAUTION TAPE STILL HERE AT 30 LAUREL CREST DRIVE AND STILL AN ACTIVE SCENE AS INVESTIGATORS TRY TO PIECE TOGETHER EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT CAUSED THIS FIRE THAT DESTROYED THIS HOME. WE WERE ABLE TO SPEAK TO TWO OF THE FIREFIGHTERS WHO WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE AND SAVED THE MAN MO WAS IN THE BASEMENT AND THEY SAY THIS WAS THE LIFE SAVING TOOL THAT THEY USED. COULDN'T SEE YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE. PICTURES FROM NEIGHBORS SHOWED THE INTENSITY OF THE FIRE. BUT DESPITE THE DANGERS, FIREFIGHTERS HAD TO GO INSIDE. SOMEONE WAS TRAPPED IN THE BASEMENT OF THIS HOME AND THE RESCUE WAS THEIR FIRST PRIORITY. WE TOOK OFF THE DOOR AND I WAS SCANNING, BECAUSE SMOKE HAD BANKED DOWN ABOUT FOUR FEET AND WE HAD FIRE ACROSS THE CEILING AT THIS POINT. THEY HEADED IN, SCANNING WITH THE INFRARED CAM ARE. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO FIND HIM? SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY, BUT LITERALLY ONLY TWO AND A HALF MINUTES. COULD SEE SEE HIM THROUGH THE MASK STRAIGHT AHEAD, BUT IN ACTUALLY PICKED UP THE VICTIM AND WE KNEW WHERE WE HAD TO GO TO GET TO HIM. THEY SAY THIS IS AN INVALUABLE TOOL. IT LOOKS FOR HEAT SIGNATURES SIGNATURES AND WHEN SOMEONE IS NEARBY THEIR BODY SHOWS UP LIKE A WHITE SILHOUETTE. HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU THINK HE HAD IN THERE IF YOU HADN'T GONE IN THERE WITH THE CAMERA? MINUTES. THE VICTIM'S SISTER WAS ALSO INSIDE BUT ESCAPED UNHARMED. AS FOR THE ONE THEY SAVED, HE WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. BUT FIREFIGHTER SAY THEY'LL NEVER FORGET THE RELIEF THEY FELT WHEN THEY HEARD HIM GAPS FOR AIR AS THEY TOOK HIM OUTSIDE. THAT WAS A GREAT FEELING THAT I DON'T THINK ANY OF US CAN PUT THAT INTO WORDS. FIREFIGHTERS SAY THIS ONLY COST ABOUT $5,000. PRETTY INEXPENSIVE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE VALUE IT HAS FOR
